Wire Feed Nozzle 1.0mm Item 4

Description

Wire Feed Nozzle 1.0mm Item 4 Safety Hand held fibre laser welding safety guidance Lasers are classified into several classes depending on the level of hazard they present and their ability to cause damage to the operator and others within the surrounding area, with the highest Class 4 representing the most dangerous lasers available. EN-60825-1 outlines the classification and safety guidance of laser products. Handheld fibre laser welding machines are classified as hazardous, Class 4 laser products, but with the required PPE to protect the operator and a purpose built Kyrus Automation Class 4 laser welding enclosure, this technology is safe to use. Users can enjoy the many benefits that handheld fibre laser welding offers over traditional welding methods. The difference between laser welding and traditional arc welding processes is that laser energy is used instead of an electric arc to form the weld pool. As such, additional/process specific safety measures must be considered when operating this equipment. It is mandatory that any company using Class 4 laser appliances, has a suitably qualified Laser Safety Officer who is responsible for laser safety onsite. Exposure to laser light can inflict severe retina and/or cornea injuries leading to permanent eye damage and may cause skin damage. Some laser light is invisible. Safety protocols must be followed to prevent accidental exposure to invisible, direct and reflected beams. The system must only be operated in a Laser Controlled Area. Personal Protection Appropriately certified eyewear must be worn which is suitable for the laser output wavelength, by both the operator and anyone within the enclosed working environment. The standards for such protection are governed by EN-207:2017. The key aspects of the laser glasses are the optical density rating (OD) and the LB rating. These ratings determine the level of protection provided from the laser radiated at defined wavelengths. For the wavelength of 1080nm from Max Photonics fibre laser welding systems, the minimum optical density rating required for adequate protection is 7 (OD7). The minimum LB rating is 6. All Max Photonics handheld fibre laser welding systems from Wilkinson Star Limited come supplied with CE marked laser safety glasses with a rating of OD7+ and LB7, and are tested in accordance with EN-207:2017. Only the combination of specified laser safety glasses and welding helmet with appropriate filters and face shield will provide sufficient protection to all personnel present during laser welding. A UV rated helmet with a shade 4 or 5 lens should be used to protect against the secondary thermal radiation from the plasma arc that is created during welding. The face shield of the welding mask should be certified to EN-208. Exposure to infrared (IR) and UV light radiation can cause serious injury to the skin. Operators and all personnel working within the Laser Controlled Area must wear protective clothing including laser-resistant and heat resistant gloves, caps, leather apron and other laser-resistant and heat-resistant clothing.
